Quilted Happy Dance!
It's not DONE, but the quilting is finally finished on Spike's I Spy
quilt!!! The final border is stipple quilted, and I hate stippling! This is a 2-sided, twin size quilt (could there be any other size for Spike and Giles). At this point, I'm moving on to the quilting on Giles' I Spy quilt. That one needed to be basted twice, par for the course when dealing with anything Giles. Once her quilting is done, then I'll trim and bind. I don't want one quilt to be finished much before the other, in case someone starts to think I'm playing favorites! Hippity hopping around in a wobbly Happy Dance, done with very little sleep. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply Put on your Big Girl panties and just deal with it. -- unknown |

I stipple small when there's lots of time and stipple large when I'm in a rush. I never want to do any other kind of quilting because I don't have to rule or measure or watch my lines with stippling.

Diana You're right. I never thought about it before but it is sort of hypnotic. I just love it. Giselle (I thought it was sort of "cheating" to quilt like that but as long as one person hates it, I guess it must be harder than I thought ) |

Well done Wendy!
Given your shortage of time, I think it is incredible what you achieve. I just had a quick re-look at some of your quilts (I specially like looking at the quilt hangers gg). I just love that spiders' web quilting on the Halloween quilt. Mind if I pinch the idea ... for sometime? Hope not. ..

Since I probably stole the idea from someone else, go ahead! Obviously, I
don't have enough time to keep those web pages updated. It's on the list.... :-) Thanks! -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply Put on your Big Girl panties and just deal with it. -- unknown "Patti" wrote in message ...

Congratulations Wendy!
When can we see pictures? I love all your quilts and I know these must be adorable! I am also working on two twin size I Spy quilts for my two grandchildren. I am not as far done as you are but I do hope to have them finished in Feburary for their birthdays. I have one top completely pieced and the second top just needs the two borders added. These are the first bed size quilts I've ever done so I'm a little nervous about the quilting - which will be plain straight lines for now! Maybe with my next quilt I can adventure into the world of free motion quilting!
